Oil for 929 blade
Rob55 - 19/12/13 at 12:52 PM

What oil would you recommend for racing a 929 blade, want something that can handle a bit of abuse but not too expensive so I don't begrudge changing it plenty through the year (!) I have a local rep who can get Silkolene and Castrol, can also possibly get Millers. Would prefer not to have to order online to avoid postage.

On my Blade I use Motul 5100 10W 40 ester. It smell fantastic and is good when you are giving it a bit of a thrash. I found this on Amazon £30 for 5 ltrs.

No oil cooler last year but going to fit one for this year to see if this helps all the lads at ni sevens reckoned my oil was too thin

I have an oil cooler and hope it will keep the oil from getting too thin, I've gone with Castrol Power 1 Racing 10w40 and will see how it goes
